That might be him- I will have to keep an eye out to see if I spot him again. I am not sure about the beak, but then again I only saw a 3/4 side of him- mostly side and back. What a pretty boy though!

When I was walking with the boys near dusk along the canal last night, we were trying to identify bird calls - here's what we came up with: robins, red-winged blackbirds, a hummingbird, mourning doves, and meadowlarks. We heard crickets, too! YAY!!! I'm still waiting for the summer nighthawks to show up - and the bats, too. I just LOVE watching the world "spring" into action! Winter has its own quiet beauty, of course, but there is just SOMETHING about the exuberance of spring that makes my heart smile...
XOXO, Libbie

That is amazing Libbie! There is a cat collector in our neighborhood and I have only heard a few sparrows so far. There is a really nice riverfront park not to far from here. Maybe we will have to go listen. Maybe I will have to record them and figure out a way to share the file with you because I can only name a few bird's calls!

A big egret has been frequenting our neighbor's pond. When it's there, the resident herons don't come around. I wonder how long the egret will stay?

I wonder why the herons won't come? I read that an egret is part of the heron family. They sure are stunning, aren't they?
